I am trying to forward some email to my wife.  My email has our last name, while hers has an initial before the emal:

E.g. name#domain.com and xname#domain.com.  I use the former for my account information and I am trying to forward specific mail (by rule) to her.  The rule executes, but I get the error

Your message rules did not Forward or Reply X message(s) because the message would have been sent to one of your accounts:  Account:  'ACCOUNT_NAME', Server 'pop.domain.com'

This is wrong though as I am forwarding it to xname#domain.com, not name#domain.com.  The xname#domain.com is not noted outside my address book.

Any idea what I can do to fix this so it will properly forward the emails?

The message rule is:

Apply this rule after the message arrives

Where the From line contains 'someone#somesite.com'

Forward it to xname#domain.com

  and Highlight it with Maroon

The last part works, so I know the rule is executing.  The system just thinks xname#domain.com is the same as name#domain.com.

Substitute "@" for "#" in my examples.
